Afterwards, the BBC issued a response, admitting that “The issue of limited sound affected some viewers. “
“The show is currently under review and any necessary technical adjustments will be made ahead of next week’s broadcast,” a spokesperson told The Telegraph.
The BBC also noted that viewers watching on iPlayer experienced no relevant sound issues.
